This area to the right of the board is for adding extra expansion boards to increase the functionality available to you. For more information on adding expansion boards [look here](/expansionadding.html)
##### Address selection
![640 Motors](/images/640-addressselection.png)
The 640 board uses I2C to control the motors. You can have a lot of I2C controlled boards on your Raspberry Pi at the same time, but each must have a unique address.
We have set up the 640 board to use the address **0x60**. If you find that this conflicts with another board you want to use, and you can't change the address of that board, then you can use these 5 solder jumpers to change the 640 board address.
###### How to change the address
Each of the address pins (A0 - A4) can be set to 0 (un-soldered) or 1 (soldered). You set an address pin to 1 by adding solder to each pad of the address pin until the two parts join.
![Solder Jumpers by Adafruit](/images/solder_jumpers.jpg)
Each address jumper has a binary value - A0 = 1, A1 = 2, A3 = 4, A4 = 8
The starting address for the 640 board is 0x60 - if we solder jumper A0 then the address will be 0x60 + 1 = 0x61. Soldering A0 and A1 will give us 0x60 + 1 + 2 = 0x63
